The ui for Search filesystems includes a tab "Status" for CVS FS but not for a view over a CVS FS
I think the bug is in VcsSearchType, which checks instanceof VcsSearchTypeFileSystem. Such a system inherently cannot work with delegating filesystems. I suggest the vcscore module define some special pseudo-file-attribute which gives access to VCS-specific information. The search type can look for this attr on files it is testing. treefs should then pass through the attr uninterpreted and searching would work.
Thanks Jesse for your analysis. I have already filled an issue #20620 for this problem. It was supposed to be solved by the new VCS API, which are unfortunately delayed and will not be a part of 3.4 release. But we'll do some workaround to fix this into 3.4. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 20620 ***
Okay, verified as duplicate of another bug.
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
